To be fair to the Brits, they have always been streets ahead of any other nation (at least English speaking nation) in terms of their comedy. From the Goons to Monty Python to Faulty Towers to Only Fools and Horses to The Inbetweeners, British comedy is top notch. Throw in The League of Gentlemen, The […]
A sad death in a horror movie? It seems to be a contradictory statement, as horror movies are not renowned for such sentimentality. Think Michael Myers in Halloween, Freddie Krueger in Nightmare on Elm Street, The Wicked Witch of the West in The Wizard of Oz. What? That wasn’t a horror movie you say? Are […]
This compilation has dinosaurs. It has people being chased by dinosaurs. It might even have people being eaten by dinosaurs. How can you say no to something like that? Rebel Voice expects that at some stage, geneticists will find a way to make the likes of Jurassic Park come true. As Jeff Goldblum’s character said […]
OK, we all like to portray ourselves as peaceniks, stuffing flowers down the barrels of guns and swapping stories about cotton wool.

It’s an oldie, having been released in 1967, but the animated telling of The Jungle Book has stood the test of time in the most glorious fashion. Perhaps the best thing about this movie is the music score. There are a number of memorable performances, none more so than that of King Louie as he […]
For some, extreme weather events are a thrill and something to be observed and/or experienced. For others, they are hell on earth. It’s this stark contrast that demonstrates our fascination with extreme weather, from whatever angle, and the movie makers know it.

We all enjoy the movies, but not the same ones. Some of us like the squelchy stuff whereas others revel in explosions and action. There are the oldies and the newbies; the artsy and the fartsy; the costly and the cheap. There is something for everyone. But do you consider yourself to be well versed […]
Star Wars is a movie franchise that will be no stranger to anyone. Could there be a person alive who has not heard of Luke Skywalker?

Ancient Egyptians have enthralled and mesmerized us for centuries. We westerners love to portray them in books, TV and movies. From mummies to alien civilizations that built the pyramids, the Egyptians have captured the public imagination and refused to let go.

This includes the entertainment industry. On occasion, comments made by famous people make the news for the inappropriate content. The following list is a look at […]
Tyson Fury is an English former world heavyweight boxing champion. He is of Irish Traveller identity which makes him a tough SOB. Within the Traveller culture, men are judged by their no nonsense attitude and ability to take care of business. As a former world champ, Fury is top of the heap. He is also […]
Poor Ned Flanders. It’s bad enough that his beloved wife died, but he also has to live next door to the Simpsons. Homer is great to laugh at, when he’s not right beside you. But imagine if you had to deal with him on a daily basis. Or Bart. OK, he’s a kid with a […]
